Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: The Sahel belt is occupied by populations who use two types of subsistence strategy, nomadic pastoralism and sedentary farming, and who belong to three linguistic families, Niger-Congo, Nilo-Saharan, and Afro-Asiatic. Little is known, however, about the origins of these two populations and their mutual genetic relationships. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We have built a large dataset of mitochondrial DNA...
